Chapter 7: The Centaur Camp

Bird brought the wizarding staff left behind by the previous dean, just in case something happened.

Once everything was ready, Bird and the others waited for Nishizawa to cast the Speed Spell on Albert and his fellow centaur Bolton. The Divine Speed Technique is one of the few high-level auxiliary techniques that Bird and the other three know about, and only Nishizawa has mastered it among the three. I saw that Nishizawa directly started to cast spells, and kept reciting the spells in his mouth, which was much longer than the chanting time of all the spells released by Bird before.

It took a while for Nishizawa to bless the two centaurs with the blessing of the two Divine Speed Techniques, his ruddy face turned slightly pale, and Nishizawa reminded, "I have maintained the blessing time of the Divine Speed Technique to about two hourglasses according to what you said, if I can't catch up within this time, I will not be able to perform the second blessing, the second blessing requires my mana very well, and I have not been able to meet this requirement yet."

Seeing Nishizawa's stern face, Albert and Bolton calmed down a little from the surprise of the Divine Speed Technique. Bird nodded to the three of them to indicate that he had prepared what he needed, and rode Albert and Bolton with Nishizawa and gradually disappeared from the field of vision of Mia and the others.

With the blessing of the speed technique, the horse has a terrifying ability to act, and Bird only feels like he is on a train, and the trees around him have blurred into pieces and become a painting that has been infinitely elongated. The four-legged is the best gift that God has given to the centaurs, and when Albert jumps or jumps, Bird only feels infinite pleasure.

At first moving at high speeds, Bird and Nishizawa were a little unaccustomed and told Albert and Bolton to slow down a bit, but as they got used to it. Especially when the magic covers the exposed skin and protects it from the damage caused by high-speed movement, this refreshing feeling is fascinating, and it is no wonder that some people like the feeling of a sports car running fast.

Albert and Burton were running at great speed, and at the same time, they were screaming vigorously, as if expressing the depression and unhappiness of the past two days.

As Albert and Bolton were anxious to see their people, they were already on the outskirts of the camp in less than two hourglasses, and it was already midnight.

The whole camp was very quiet, but the silence was a little weird, and even the usual sounds of insects and birds could not be heard. Albert and Bolton were afraid of being ambushed, so they gradually slowed down, and Bird and Bolt had already disembarked from the centaurs.

Centaurs are a nomadic race that feeds mainly on alfalfa, and when they eat more or less alfalfa in an area, they migrate to other places until they are likely to return to one of the camps they have visited several years later.

Now that the scorching year is about to pass, the centaurs have to prepare to migrate to the north of the forest to find a warm place to survive the winter, Bird came all the way, according to the direction of the stars, the centaurs are now camping in the north of the academy.

Alfalfa was harvested everywhere in the camp, probably intended to be preserved to survive the winter, and Bird asked Albert how many months before the scorching year passed, and why he began to migrate north when the alfalfa was fertile after the scorching year.

Albert was not focused on this, but when Bird asked, he replied honestly, "When the elders of the clan went to worship the god of the earth, they were reminded by the gods to prepare for the bitter winter year of next year, so the patriarch announced that he would migrate north. ”

Bird looked a little stern, since it was the gods who spoke, then there must be nothing to doubt, this thing will definitely happen, but why did this strange situation suddenly appear, could it be that something bad will happen? After thinking about it, Bird interrupted his thoughts to continue thinking, now it is still the matter in front of him, and when the time comes, he should be fully prepared for this kind of thing, and he can respond to all changes with inconvenience, and he shook his head and focused his attention on the present.

"That evil wizard may have gathered all the people in the square," Bird and the others didn't get anything out of the entire camp, and Albert suddenly thought that there was still a place that had not been explored, so he said.

The square of the Centaur clan was built on a flat land outside the tribe, which is usually used for sacrifices or festivals, because it is a nomadic people, so although it is a square, it is actually a slightly flat land and transplanted the trees to another place.

Bird and the others encountered another black bound spirit, which was not as strong as the one Bird had encountered before, and Nishizawa just raised his hand and sent it away.

After the black fog in front of them dissipated, Bird and the others could clearly see that on the square, thousands of people and horses were trapped in a formation, the formation was bloody, and countless people and horses were roaring inside, but Bird and the others couldn't hear any sound.

In front of the circle, there was a red-robed wizard standing, with the seal in his hand, running the circle. Seeing that Bird and the others killed a black bound spirit casually, its movements were a little faster, revealing a little panic, Nishizawa immediately felt a trace of mana fluctuations released by the wizard in front of him, and said to Bird, "It seems that he is only a medium wizard apprentice."

As soon as Bird heard that this person's strength was not higher than his own, he immediately rushed forward to interrupt the red-robed wizard's spell, and Nishizawa hurriedly followed when he saw this. Albert and the others could only hurriedly run to the magic circle, trying to save the clansmen from this strange thing.

Seeing this, the red-robed wizard directly beckoned to gather all the black-bound spirits scattered nearby, only to see that countless black mist blocked Bird and the red-robed wizard, forming a wall of fog alive. As soon as Bird saw the Black Bound Spirit, he subconsciously chanted the Fireball Technique, and after chanting, he struck into the wall of fog.

The spell hit the black mist directly, and a scream was heard, and a one-person-sized void appeared in the black mist wall, and when Bird was about to raise his leg and walk a few steps forward to cross the black mist wall, another black binding spirit filled in and refilled the black mist wall.

Seeing this, Bird had another fireball, and this continued to happen, after repeating it a few times. Nishizawa on the side reminded Bird, "Bird, this can't be done, we can't destroy these black bound spirits one by one, we are just consuming our mana in vain, and these black bound spirits are constantly being created, using resentful spirits of people and horses!"

After Nishizawa's reminder, Bird noticed that the speed of the circle had increased a lot, and the red-robed wizard must be doing his best to run this formation now, and the speed of the formation was speeding up, just like the speeding up of the stone mill, and these centaurs who were shrouded in it were the objects of being crushed by the stone mill one by one, and these centaurs were tortured to death full of pain and resentment, and they saw that every time a centaur died, a black spirit floated out of the sky above the formation.
